Delimitation exercise doubtful as COVID-19 cases surge

Politicians have not been sparred either as they are concerned that the delimitation exercise billed for next year could be delayed. Some legislators are therefore praying to see their constituencies ‘change shape’ so that it is not cumbersome to launch campaigns.

Mmegi has learnt that the delimitation exercise that is supposed to take place next year might be deferred if local COVID- 19 transmissions continue rising. Several constituencies might be divided depending on the populations in those areas if the process goes through as planned.
